I've racked my brain trying to think of one redeeming point in this story but I just can't find any. So what if it has drama angst well defined characters without a happy ending the story is useless. I don't care if it mirors real life. I don't want that in a novel. I want love hope redemption, not selfishness, greed, deception and blind loyalty what kind of monster does what Allison did to Zoe? Zoe loved Allison of that there is no doubt but Allison never loved anyone but her own damn self. That's why she was alone before she met Zoe. I curse the day that Zoe met Allison, I curse it! Allison didn't want to be like her mother but that's exactly what she became. Corey didn't become a good kid because of Allison and that waste of a man he called his dad, no Corey became a good kid because of Zoe and what did she get out of it? A slap in the face. Can you believe that? Allison tells Zoe that the kid she didn't want to have with her. Zoe raised anyway but not as the product of her commitment to Zoe but as the proof that Allison used her and will continue to use her. Goodness gracious I hope Merideth Maran did not base Allison's character in any one real person. I shudder to think that such a person could possibly exist. Trust me when I tell you this I will not waste a single more minute of my life reading any other of this authors works. A theory of small earthquakes scared me for life. You know what's worse is that this book reenforces the myth that women need men. It gives bisexual women a bad name. What bi woman would give up on the love of her life because of her own insecurities and jump into the arms of a dude? Bi sexuality doesn't work that way. It's shameful that such a book as this is in print, just shameful.
